A DUMB IDEA ENTERS MY MIND

 

 

The first poem I read was one called “A Dumb Idea Enters My Mind.”  Of course, it was a dumb idea to even write the poem but since I did I figured I might as well make other people suffer with me.  Why should I endure the misery alone?  If there’s any consolation to my mediocrity it’s that I can make other people suffer with me.  Just make them listen to it at the readings.

 

Desperate to write

dumb idea enters my mind

must to write it down

 

must to make others suffer

feel my pain and misery
